Planting Forest Trees.

The mole Of setting out young for
est trees on the praires in the best and
most economical manner is descr bed
by Robert Douglas, who has had ex-
perience with millions. The following
has been condensed from his descrip
ton in the Gardss and F0rts: The
ground is first marked both was as
for corn planting; at each intersection
a man strikes his spade down vertical
ly and pushes the handle backward
and forward, making slit in tho
ground, into which boy inserts a
tree. The earth s then pushed against
it with the foot and the tree is planted.
But this is not the method recommend
ed by Mr.. Douglas, as the roots are
thus crampcd and many OF the trees
die. The true way is to put the ground
in clean and perfect condition the
previous year and harrow 1t in spring.
The Nyorkmen are divided into com.
panies of three each, or with two mon
and an active boy. Tho ground
is marked both ways, The trees
have been tied in bundles of 1OC
each. of equal length. aud these are
alternately supplied by the boy 10 the
two men with their spades in contigu
Gus rows on each side. Each mar
strikes his spade close TO tho cross
mark, raises tho earth. the boy inserts
the tree. the earth is replaced. and til,
planter presses his foot firmly ON it. a
he passes to the next mark. The tire,
plant two aud half trees each min
ute. or L. 500 in Il ten-hOur day.

Position of the Ears.

Mothers pay too little attention to
the headgcar Of their infants and
children. Who has not seen an i'm
patient and testy nurse hastily tying on
bonnet or cap for child. while
she perhaps crumpled the ear on itsau
or pushed it out so that it stood al
right angles from the head? When
ever this is done the ultimate position
of the ear in adult life is affected. 1t
is not to be wondered at that SO many
ears stand at right angles from the
head or hang in so lackadaisical q
manner by their attachments. The
prevention Of these errors will lie in a
careful personal supervision OF the
headgear.
II tendency on the part of the ears
TO stand off at too bold an angle be
noted in infancy, it may be corrected
by so arranging the bonnets and caps
that the ear lies fiat against the head.
1t would not be amiss even for cloth
TO be bound around the forehead at
night, when the child sleeps, so that
the upper portion of the pima be taken
in by the bandage; If these procedures
be persevered in for some time the
malposition of the ears may be greatly
remedied.

Farm Notes.


The tools and implements of tho farm

faded woodwork repaintod, and the
iron work which is expected to remain

The prevailing sentiment in the
trade at Minneapolis is that the wheat

is fully one-lhird short of last year.
when tho government estimate was
about eighly-scvcn million bushels.
The value OF The grain crop is great

seed on weI-prcpared soil, yet that in

Tho farmers Of Crawford county.

their influence to this end with the
farmers of adjoining counties.
Do not plant asparagus roots too

A cattle company, controlling new

pounds each.
The American people are generally

According TO my observation, apple

at least not injurious if underground.
but are very uufavorablc TO tho crop if

Years ago the old fashioned farmer,

in almost any apple rowing region in
New England, and although in many
instances vigorous, Ict marketable ap-
! pies from those trees arc much less in
quality and quantity than those from

The Despotism of Order.

Among the superstitionso of education
are those in favor Of what is called
order. 1t is not that there is no such
thing as order, but that its advocates
are bigotcd, narrow and exclusive. 1t
is cOolly taken for granted that if what
somebody calls order is good what that
same somebody calls disorder is bad.
AS if there might not be bad order and
good disorder! What is order as APP
piled TO things? 1t is simply arrange
ment according to some notion, and
disorder is simply arrangement accord
ing TO some other notion. If parlol

We are in receipt Of bound copy of

editions in ten languages. Specimen
pages of pamphlets in eleven other
tongues arc also included. All the
people thus represented have now an
opportunity to read of the cures effect
ed by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla,
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and Ayers
Pills, so long standard family medicines
in this country. Tho accuracy of the
astronomical calculations, rs well us
the other tabulated matter contained in
this work, commcnds it to all in need
of u valuable and reliable almanac. We
may add that the annual issue of Ayers
Almanac is about fourteen millions-far
cceding that of any other work Of the
kind. This is certainly a proof that
both the almanac and the medicines it
advertises are appreciated by the world
at large. The familiar yellow-covered
pamphlet can now be had at all drug
stores.

Street Scenes in London.

A few evenings since, as ! was re-
turning from the theater whore l had
listened TO the wonderful voices Of
those famous singers, Scalchi and
Simms Reeves, was attracted by the
screams Of woman on oHcof the most
prominent thoroughfares Of the city.
The woman carried in her arms a babe
OF about six months old, and had
emerged from one of those gin palaces
with her husband and three or four
others, men and women. The husband
was striking her with his fist, which
she vainly endeavored to ward off.
Calling upon one of the women to hold
her baby, she proceeded to "knock out"
her husband after the most approved
Sullivan style" it is not pleasant to
write about these things, but perhaps
they will serve to point moral.
